anneep1016 Posted March 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Hello, We are using AIRBNB for our pre-cruise place to stay in Barcelona and I am wondering what is our best way to get to the port. 6 people. I am not opposed to taking a taxi but since we aren't staying at an actual hotel I am not sure how we could catch a cab. Are we best off scheduling a service? Suggestions please :) Edited March 7, 2016 by anneep1016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkto Posted March 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) This taxi rank map should help http://w152.bcn.cat/PlanolBCN/en/act/taxi-ranks-K018/ If red dots don't show up try another browser; I got it working in Firefox and Edge but not Chrome. Otherwise can call +34 93 225 0000 Radio taxi may be more expensive than one hired from taxi rank Edited March 7, 2016 by hkto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTowner Posted March 7, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Taxis are readily available to hail in the street and are fairly cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anneep1016 Posted March 8, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Taxis are readily available to hail in the street and are fairly cheap. There are 6 of us in total. Are we likely to need two taxis? If so at that point would it be cheaper to hire a car service for about 85euros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted March 8, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I find the taxi an easy way to go. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTowner Posted March 8, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2016 There is a set price for the taxi to the airport, but I can't remember how much it is. I think it is about 30 euros, but sure somebody else will know. I don't see any point in pre booking ax taxis are so plentiful in Barcelona, unless you are staying in an out of the way place.

hkto Posted March 8, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Set max price is 39€ from airport to port. For rides from other locations it's metered with all sort of suppliments. Here is good source for price calculations http://www.barcelonayellow.com/bcn-transport/100-taxi-prices-barcelona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlernme Posted March 11, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 11, 2016 In doing a little research, I ran across a company call AeroCITY. They are affiliated with Super Shuttle and their prices are the best I've seen for transportation from the airport to the port (or your hotel) & back from the port (or hotel). Unfortunately, it seems that they do not provide a service from your hotel to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybird73 Posted March 13, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I downloaded an app called My Taxi. You can prearrange a taxi pick up from your location and set up an account with them, similar to Uber, so that no money needs to exchange hands. I haven't used them before, but that is my plan in Barcelona. The app is simple. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTowner Posted March 13, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 13, 2016 ladybird73 Not sure what the situation is now, but Paris and Barcelona, like London had huge demonstrations against Uber. Not sure how they ultimately got on, but they are not popular with taxi drivers at all in London. There has also been a lot of controversy regarding their cars and particularly their drivers. As I previously stated, taxis are almost always available in the street, but if you need to call, use the number supplied by hkto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
